Ah, yes - but that is a recent edition of "Program Aid #631 - Quantity
Recipes for Type A School Lunches, 1971", which is revised from 1953.

<clickety click> Here you go. From February 1953. You can download
it as a PDF under the gear icon top right. The 1971 version is
unavailable digitally (that would have been more my era)

<http://books.google.com/books?id=eWcvAAAAYAAJ&ots=f6ZcWdt40q&dq=subject%3A %22National%20school%20lunch%20program%22&pg=PP1#v =onepage&q&f=false>

Contains great hits such as:

Cheese Meatloaf
Ham and Bean Scallop
Liver Sausage Loaf (3/5ths beef liver, 2/5ths sausage)
Sausage Shortcake (calls for 1.5lbs of "Fat")
Scrambled eggs and cheese (that needs a recipe?)
Pork Apple Salad (a molded Jello salad without the Jello)
Date and Peanut Butter Pudding
Honey Date Cookies
Orange Coconut Custard w/Cottage Cheese

That is the complete list of recipes. Three were discarded from the
publication because they didn't pass "field tests" (that was 1/4th of
the recipes!).

I bow to your superior Google foo-- I've wandered around off and on
today, but got nothing.

None of those ring a bell-- but it would be 2 more years before I got
my first school lunch.

Wow-- I remember there being 20 recipes- and that they repeated them
throughout the year, so you'd get the menu in Sept- with the starting
dates for the repeats. Snow days threw it off, so you'd make a note
on the mimeograph--

My wife doesn't remember that at her school-- but she did remember the
accommodation for the Catholics-- meatless Fridays. I can only
remember 3 of the 4 we got through elementary school- Mac & cheese,
Pizza, Peanut butter sandwiches [no jelly- dry bread- could almost
make you not like peanut butter sandwiches.]-- Oh yeah-- and fish
sticks. I remember the tartar sauce was good.

When I was in the 2nd grade I begged my mom for lunch money because they
were going to serve tacos. She warned me! She said I wouldn't like
them. She was right. They put shredded lettuce on them (I hate
lettuce, even to this day). When I wouldn't eat them the teacher who
was monitoring the cafeteria wouldn't let me go back to class because I
refused to eat. I wound up in the principal's office. She called my
mother, who told her not to worry about it, she knew I wouldn't eat it.
Mom just wanted me to figure out they don't let 7 year old kids
"custom order" food in the school cafeteria

In high school I didn't eat cafeteria food. I do remember getting a
slice of cardboard-like cheese pizza once. Only once.

I don't remember any of that sh-t, er, food. But then I wasn't in
the hot lunch room very much.
